This makes a lot of sense to me. We have been tracking these (see three variants below) in ScanCode and DejaCode for quite a while: - https://github.com/nexB/scancode-toolkit/blob/develop/src/licensedcode/data/licenses/google-patent-license.LICENSE - https://github.com/nexB/scancode-toolkit/blob/develop/src/licensedcode/data/licenses/google-patent-license-webm.LICENSE - https://github.com/nexB/scancode-toolkit/blob/develop/src/licensedcode/data/licenses/google-patent-license-fuschia.LICENSE The variants for Go and WebRTC look mostly the same. However I do not think of these as exceptions, but rather as plain license(s). -- Cordially Philippe Ombredanne +1 650 799 0949 | pombreda...@nexb.com DejaCode - What's in your code?! - http://www.dejacode.com AboutCode - Open source for open source - https://www.aboutcode.org nexB Inc. - http://www.nexb.com _______________________________________________ Spdx-legal mailing list Spdx-legal@lists.spdx.org https://lists.spdx.org/mailman/listinfo/spdx-legal
